00:00:00,361 --> 00:00:04,528
- I'm Pfc. Robert Bliss, and this is Hard Corps Jobs.

2
00:00:08,081 --> 00:00:10,528
^We're here today with Sergeant John Jetter,

3
00:00:10,528 --> 00:00:13,527
^and he's gonna tell us what being an AAV mechanic

4
00:00:13,527 --> 00:00:14,610
^is all about.

5
00:00:14,949 --> 00:00:17,220
^What's your key role as a mechanic?

6
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:18,642
- [John] I'm a Sergeant, so I organize

7
00:00:18,642 --> 00:00:20,356
maintenance on all the vehicles.

8
00:00:20,356 --> 00:00:22,943
I have 14 vehicles I organize maintenance for,

9
00:00:22,943 --> 00:00:25,470
and I ensure that all maintenance is done correctly,

10
00:00:25,470 --> 00:00:28,302
anything that's damaged, I order parts to replace it,

11
00:00:28,302 --> 00:00:30,872
and I make sure that all the paperwork gets completed

12
00:00:30,872 --> 00:00:33,872
in a timely fashion for my vehicles.

13
00:00:34,796 --> 00:00:37,483
My MOS is a 2141 Amtrak Mechanic.

14
00:00:37,483 --> 00:00:40,607
We keep the corps amphibious, the MAGTF doesn't exist

15
00:00:40,607 --> 00:00:43,159
without ship to shore capabilities.

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,653
Without me, ship to shop capabilities don't exist,

17
00:00:45,653 --> 00:00:46,586
'cause if these vehicles break,

18
00:00:46,586 --> 00:00:48,529
the operators aren't trained on how to repair them,

19
00:00:48,529 --> 00:00:50,343
only the mechanics can do that.

20
00:00:50,343 --> 00:00:54,510
So without us, there's no Amphibious Assault Force.

21
00:00:55,792 --> 00:00:58,158
